@transparent think of it as kWh generated (like via PV) as opposed to kWh consumed. 🤣

If you haven't already seen it, we’re running The Big Heat Pump Survey 2025, and we’d love for as many of you as possible to take part. Whether your heat pump journey has been smooth sailing or full of hurdles, your experience matters.
This survey is all about gathering real, homeowner-driven data on heat pump ownership, performance, costs and installer experiences. It’s a chance to highlight what’s working and what needs to change – something the industry needs to hear.
💡 It only takes 5 minutes, and all responses are anonymous.
And please share it with friends, family & colleagues so that we can get as many results as possible and put together a comprehensive report we can share with major industry stakeholders to improve things for everyone.

We’ve introduced a new rule for these forums which has been added on the terms of us: posts that look like they’ve been written by AI and copy-pasted into the forums will now be removed without notice. We want Renewable Heating Hub to remain a space for real, human conversations, especially on technical or homeowner-specific issues where personal experience matters.
If you’re using tools to help draft your response, please make sure the final post is clearly written in your own words.
Thanks for helping us keep the forums thoughtful, useful and human.

@editor Fairy Nuff Mars, I doubt that my ramblings would pass muster with even the least able AI programme anyway. Wot I write is all me own - but is normally heart felt!😉 Regards, the actual Toodles. (N.B. No robots were harmed in the writing of this cheeky comment!)

Really one for @editor : I've had to go through the cookie confirmation steps again. The particular software you use is awful for "legitimate interest" (there are dozens to untick) and hiding the majority of these under a separate, non-obvious link called "Vendor Preferences"; it isn't at all clear, in any case, what happens if you "withdraw consent" by unticking that but leave "Legitimate Interest" ticked? Do you have any further insight to this as the site owner, or can you ask your hosting provider? I can't find any clarifying info on this point in particular (plenty about what Legitimate Interest is) but I could be getting my searches wrong.
@andrewj I’m currently away and only back this weekend. No answer off the top my head. Will look into it and reply.
